Indiana courthouse becomes the scene of a vigilante justice shootout
American Thinker ^ | May 8, 2025 | By Olivia Murray

S’Doni Pettis, a black career criminal “on probation after serving time for aggravated battery” (a downgraded charge as Pettis was facing attempted murder) reportedly led police on a high-speed pursuit in a stolen vehicle in February, a chase which ended almost as soon as it began: In less than 30 seconds, Pettis had “slammed” into an SUV with a father and his two young children on their way home from a pediatric check-up. The car “exploded into a fireball,” allegedly killing little 2-month-old Iris instantly, and burning the three-year-old Ares so badly, he died from his injuries shortly after.

Only way to get justice with the judicial system today.

His shot did not hit anyone

That is a sad outcome.

When you first set out for revenge, be sure to dig two graves.

he should have waited until the animal was released, which a liberal judge would have before long

The guy he wanted to kill wasn’t even with the deputies when he started shooting. That dude’s hearing had been continued and he wasn’t with the defendants being escorted into the courthouse.

Too true. Especially since the murderer is in a protected group.

I can understand the gentleman’s feelings. I’m very protective of my kids, especially my daughter. When she was younger no one dared diss her in any way. Just ask the financial aid counselors at Purdue University. If anything like that was to happen to her today, I’m sure I would be tempted to do the same thing.

Bingo and I feel more will come due to liberal judges releasing people like this.

I do believe in tit for tat. If one were to harm my family, the family of the perp would be harmed.

Very simple equation.

So the cops shot the wrong guy. They could have neutralized the threat by shooting the killer.

“Now if he had been waiting to take out a health insurance company president he would have been celebrated as a hero in the liberal media “

True enough. But perhaps it’s two sides of the same coin. Some think of the insurance company president the same way we think of Pettis in this case (or Fauchi), neither side has faith in the justice system, and feel vigilante action is justified.

Bad people generate more money for lawyers.
Rich Lawyers can afford to run for legislative office.
They then make laws to protect their interests.

Local story for me, not very far away. I heard all the sirens and roads were blocked off for a while. How tragic.

I can understand the sentiment and had I been on any potential jury would have refused to convict....but the guy should have picked a better time and place to take out this murdering criminal. Better planning was called for here.
